During the ensuing battle with the attacker, the ChR Gal Gath'thong, Tomlinson died due to exposure from toxic fumes. Fortunately before his death, Captain James T. Kirk was able to perform the wedding ceremony during a brief lull in the battle. (TOS episode & Star Trek 1 novelization: Balance of Terror)
